French I High School Course Outline

1.0 Credit

Students will learn to read, write, speak, and understand spoken French. A developmental approach to the acquisition of essential vocabulary will build upon different themes at each level. The main language used in the class is French. In some stages a bilingual approach is used to explain grammar or to introduce cultural concepts especially at the early levels. It is most important to note that the target language is used extensively and it is the student’s responsibility to work with the teacher to master this essential oral component.

Within each chapter are many pages that cover topics such as grammar, vocabulary, culture, and conversation.
